wrimow-srmbr: BRACKETS.

To all wjwm it'ma/y ramm- Be'it known that I, DANIEL A. isomers,- vcii'ii'eliof the United States, residing at EL mire, in the county of Gheniung and State 'oi'i. New ,York,havefinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Window-Shade Brackets ofwhich the following is. a speciiication. o

This'invention relates to improvements in 1,0 the brackets for. so porting spring roller window shades; an has-for its object to v I provide means, in combination .with the bracket pairs, for supporting 'anextension rod for sash curtains "between the shade and I atteininy olifect by constructing the brackets. int'he manner illustrated in the accmnpanying drewings,'in which-- Figure 1 is an isometric View of a pzii'r of .20" shade brackets erranged in-accordeiice...withmy invention i0 support an extension curtaiii rod; Fig. 2, a side elevation of one of the brackets; and Fig. 3, a, front elevation thereof. L iv 5. Likenumerels-designate like parts in (he iseveral views.

The shade brackets are made in a fond now in common use, except that the arms 1 v are, extended outwardly to a somewhat '30 greater extent to make-room for the curtain rod behind the shade, when rolled up. On

each member or a bracket pa r, is fastened a projecting pin 2,,so placed that the pins will stand opposite one another whenthe bracketpairs are m place. These pins are preferab1y split from the top downward and bent apart at their upper ends, toreceive; and hold the-eye. pieces 3 of an extension-rod fl. By combiningthe pins with the bruckets m 40 this manner, the'bmckets maybe-fastened in place in proper posiilon to rece ve thesh'ade roller, without regard to (the curtain rod;

the sash curtains, may then be readily lipped into place upon the pins; and both curtains and-shade. will be supported upon the one panof fixtures. I thus provide cheap and eiiective combination fixtures; whereby the curtain-rod is positioned directly behind the shade roller where it should be; and whereby an extension rod may be used, thusuvo'ding the measuring and cutting of solid rot s, or the use of additional fixtures.
